scene by defeating the legendary
Anuwat Kaewsamrit via
technical knockout at a
SLAMM!! event in 2008 to win his first major honour - the W.M.C. world title.
He held on to his W.M.C. world belt for just seven months when he lost his first title defence against the highly decorated
Andrei Kulebin at the Champions of Champions II event in Jamaica. Mosab made up for this disappointment in the Autumn of 2009 when he beat one of the world's top Muay Thai fighters,
Bovy Sor Udomson, to win the W.M.C. intercontinental title, stopping him in the first round in an extremely impressive victory.
Recently Mosab has made the move up to the 70 kg division where the competition is tougher but the riches are greater. He has so far shown himself to be a decent acquisition at this level with the
It's Showtime organization, having beaten the experienced Chris van Venrooij and dropping a decision in what was a contender for 'fight of the year' against close friend
Mohammed Khamal at the end of 2010.
Amrani knocked out

He fought in the eight-man, 65 kg tournament at ''
Glory 8: Tokyo - 2013 65kg Slam'' in Tokyo, Japan on May 3, 2013. After outpointing
Marcus Vinicius in the quarter-finals, he was defeated by
Masaaki Noiri via unanimous decision in the semis.
He defeated
Yuta Kubo by unanimous decision at ''
Glory 13: Tokyo - Welterweight World Championship Tournament'' in Tokyo, Japan on December 21, 2013.
He defeated
Lim Chi-bin at ''Qabala Fight Series #1'' in
Qabala,
Azerbaijan on June 29, 2014, dropping the Korean with a knee to the body before finishing him a kick to the same spot shortly after.
